Gospel Music Association Introduces New Online GMA Christian/Gospel Industry Directory

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Gospel Music Association (GMA) has officially launched its new online GMA Christian/Gospel Industry Directory. Available at www.gmadirectory.com, this unique and regularly updated directory will provide GMA members, music industry professionals and other interested parties immediate access to a comprehensive listing of Christian/gospel music companies, services and products.

The new online GMA Christian/Gospel Industry Directory, which will be regularly updated with new information and feature a powerful search engine, will replace the print edition of the industry directory which had been published just once a year.

John W. Styll, president and CEO of the GMA said: “We are genuinely happy to be able to provide an invaluable tool for our members to interact with each other through an online directory. I’m glad we have finally entered the ‘real time’ world of the Internet for this directory!”

With the GMA Christian/Gospel Industry Directory, visitors can easily locate Christian and gospel music artists, managers, booking agents, record companies, publishing companies and other products and services unique to the industry without the clutter of a general Internet search. Within the GMA Christian/Gospel Industry Directory, users have the option of performing keyword-driven searches that mirrors traditional search engines, or a category-specific search. Both methods produce the most relevant results on the Web. The directory will also feature a downloadable desktop search engine for even greater searching capabilities.

GMA partnered with MultiView, Inc, an Irving, Texas-based publisher of industry-specific search engines and supplier directories, to develop the GMA Christian/Gospel Industry Directory. The company began contacting members in December to get the most up-to-date information available for the directory.

“GMA understands that this industry is high-paced and quality-driven. Since traditional print directories quickly become outdated GMA knew that creating a time-saving tool for its members was essential”, said Dan Maitland, MultiView President. “The GMA Christian/Gospel Industry Directory saves industry professionals an incredible amount of time as they seek products and services unique to the Christian/Gospel music industry.”
